The N7 has many signposted local facilities, but two petrol stations have survived upgrades to be signposted as 'services' (albeit on Irish brown signs). This is one of them - recently rebuilt to offer more facilities.

Trivia and History
The facilities were provided within a small forecourt shop, sometimes called 'Tootenhill services'. It had a Wimpy branch, which became Burger King.
Applegreen demolished the neighbouring Tooten Hill House and its outbuildings in 2018, opening a much larger sales building in its place, with three food units inside. The old building was demolished and used to create a larger parking area.
Following the partnership between Applegreen and M&S Food, their range was added to the shop in March 2024. The Braeburn Coffee unit was accompanied by a full drive thru and 24 hour café, which opened on 17 April 2024, built on the remaining plot of land with its own car park and six charging points. A launch event was broadcast on Radio Nova on 4 May.
Wider Context
In addition to the main service area, there is a Circle K garage just before here, also called Rathcoole, is signposted as a local petrol station, but not a full service area.
A 2014 study by the National Roads Authority noted that the N7 here would eventually be upgraded to become a motorway, and that this work should include a full service area "around Rathcoole or Naas North". It's not clear if reusing the existing facilities would be considered, but in 2016 a number of drawings were produced by Applegreen showing how the access to the service area could be significantly upgraded, if needed.
